The next morning, she finally chose the light blue dress. Although it was not very eye-catching, she did not want to attract attention anyway, so it was better to be low-key.

The Wei River can be seen as the moat of the capital, running from west to east. The location of this outing was set at the shallow water beach 20 miles outside the east gate. That place is lush and green, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and is a good place for people in the capital to travel.

The Xu family's carriage drove out of the east gate in a swagger. There were many people today, so everyone agreed to meet at the destination directly and did not go together in a group.

When Xu Yixing got off the car, he saw Lu Anyuan's car frame, which was wide and big, with a yellow flag flying, and was very conspicuous. Next to his car was another car frame with the same decoration. The two cars were side by side, and there was a large space around them, as if people were paying respect to the two cars.

"Seventh Prince, are you in the car?" Xu Yixing asked casually in front of the car, and the curtain was immediately lifted, but it was not Lu Anyuan's car, but the one next to him.

Seeing who was coming, Xu Yi bowed and said, "Your servant Xu Yiyan greets His Highness."

"Please stand up. No need to be polite."

His Highness is five or six years older than Lu Anyuan. It’s quite magical to say that the emperor’s sons were all born in the few years twenty years ago, so the age difference is not that big.

After the birth of the youngest Lu Anyuan, there were so many concubines in the palace, but none of them gave birth to a prince. No one knew whether it was God's will or something was wrong with the emperor's body, but no one dared to discuss it.

The eldest prince was the most kindhearted, usually not very eye-catching, and very humble. If it weren't for the small age difference, Xu Yixing would have felt that the eldest prince's temperament was worthy of being his father.

"Your Highness, why are you here for the outing today?"

His Highness sat in the car and showed no intention of getting off: "Haha, I haven't left the capital for a long time. I came out for a walk today."

"Oh, then Your Highness, please relax and unwind. I will take my leave first." Xu Yixing really had nothing to say to the prince and just wanted to leave quickly.

"Yes, Seventh Brother is over there." The prince pointed in a direction and watched Xu Yixing leave.

"Mr. Lu, do you really think she is the mastermind behind this incident?" The prince spoke to someone beside him, who was Lu Ziming's father.

"Yes, Your Highness, think about it, what kind of person is Xu Yiwen? How could he have such a thorough plan?"

"Then it can't be General Xu?"

Mr. Lu twirled his beard and said with a smile, "Don't you know the old general's methods? If the second prince did something bad in front of him, I'm afraid the old general would go directly to the emperor to complain, and there would be no need for these roundabout ways. I have already inquired about it. Miss Wu went to see Miss Xu before leaving Beijing. I guess the token was given to her at that time."

The eldest prince smiled slightly. His second brother was too active recently. In fact, he could feel that since he suggested that his father clean up the land last time, and then he pleaded for Sun Guogong and made trouble for the Xu family, his father was already angry with him, but he didn't say it in front of others.

Now, the old City Defense Department token has been given to Miss Xu. If my father knew about this, he would be very angry. However...

"Does Seventh Brother know about this?"

"Maybe they don't know, otherwise the Seventh Prince would definitely help their family get rid of this brand and wouldn't let the Xu family make such a big fuss."

"Is it not possible that this was Seventh Brother's idea? Using force to defeat cleverness may hurt yourself, but it is not a bad idea to use a little force to defeat a great force."

Mr. Lu thought for a while and shook his head: "Not likely. If Mr. Xu's matter is too much, it may affect their marriage. The Seventh Prince will not want to lose the Xu family, so this should not be his idea."

"Seventh brother... Humph, don't I know what kind of person he was when he was a child? As the saying goes, it's hard to change one's nature. I don't believe he can change for the better. Since he doesn't know about this, let's find a way to make him know."

His Highness did not utter the complete sentence "It is difficult to change one's nature", after all, his identity is sensitive, and he still needs to be careful with his words.

"Of course. But I was thinking that the Seventh Prince is already quite cunning, and now his future princess consort is no pushover either. Should we also pay attention to her?"

Mr. Lu was smart, and he guessed the role of Miss Xu II in this matter. Thinking of his son's hatred, how could he be willing to accept it? Therefore, every sentence he said was to lead the eldest prince in that direction.

However, Xu Yixing was really wronged. This matter was not her idea, so how could she be regarded as an invisible enemy?

"No rush. Since she is my seventh brother's future princess, we have to be on guard sooner or later. There is no need to target her, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

After hearing what the eldest prince said, Mr. Lu had no choice but to give up.

Xu Yixing walked in the direction pointed by the Grand Prince, and saw Lu Anyuan. He was standing by the river, chatting with some young ladies from unknown families.

When Xu Yixing saw this, she felt a nameless anger rising from her heart. She didn't know where it came from, but she was just angry. She twisted her body and walked forward, mocking them:

"Oh, I came at the wrong time. I disturbed your good mood! But the purpose of a picnic is to have fun. You sisters can chat first. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back without even looking at Lu Anyuan, but his wrist was quickly grabbed by someone and he couldn't move.

"Where are you going?" It was Lu Anyuan's unique tone, a mixture of joking and sincerity.

"Of course I'm going to where there are more people. I have to go see my little sisters. What's the point of staying here and blocking their eyes?"

When the young ladies saw this scene, they suddenly covered their mouths and laughed, then bowed and left, not staying here anymore.

When Xu Yixing saw them leave, he seemed to be less angry. Plus, Lu Anyuan was still holding his wrist, so he just stood still.

"Let go! It's so embarrassing to pull and tug in broad daylight!"

"You came without even telling me, and left without saying a word when we met. You also don't care about other people's grievances. How can I not be anxious?" Lu Anyuan let go of his hand. By the gurgling river, the sound of flowing water drowned out the noise in the distance, and it suddenly became very quiet.

"Tsk!" Xu Yixing burst out laughing. She didn't expect Lu Anyuan to speak like a little girl, talking about being wronged or not, as if someone had bullied him.

"I just saw the eldest prince, and he pointed the way to me. Yes, what is he doing here?"

"Who stipulated that he couldn't come for the picnic?"
